Abstract
This article discusses the way Dario Vellozo used history as a strategy for social intervention. To account for this claim, we use as a source some works written, noting that history should teach the present about past mistakes and successes so that the same mistakes in the future would not occur, in the same way as the historia magistra vitae, turning historical knowledge into an important facet of cultural knowledge to Dario Vellozo.
